Specifically, we'd like to rename Frame files so that there are no spaces in the names (same characters in the file names but no spaces). I'd like to be able to search all cross-reference marker text to find file names with spaces and remove the spaces.

As a 'quick and dirty' method, have you tried a search/replace on a MIF version of the file(s)? (Caveat: I have not tried this, but in MIF an xref contains the destination file name in the XRefSrcFile tag, so it should work.)
